[Awsi Dooger]

From Tiger's blog, describing Bubba's shot on 10. At least he's getting plenty of reps off the course:

"He makes the golf ball move a lot, which in this day and age is really hard to do because the [b]golf balls just don't move that much.[/b] For him to curve it as much as he does, obviously he's got a tremendous feel for his shots. He plays a way that a lot of the older players used to do it, [b]but they did it with a ball that moved a lot more[/b]. [b]It's a lot harder to move the ball the way he does with this ball now. The golf ball just doesn't spin as much."


[/b]

[QMany]

"Sean [Foley] and I have some work to do, but I'm going to take some time off and not look at the clubs for a while and then get back after it. I know what to work on. It's just a matter of getting out there and doing it. Just putting in the reps and the time. I just wasn't able to do it at the Masters."


"One thing I would like to say about the Masters last week is that obviously I got frustrated at times and know some of my actions were wrong, especially at No. 16."


Good read. I'm pulling for Tiger.

If that's the case..I'm glad I'm young enough to have avoided that..instead of being in the woods, my balls might have ended up through some house windows.

Think he wrote that him self?

BS, if your read the wrx thread on Bubba's shot on # 10 you'll see plenty of people who could hit that shot no problem because it is not that hard...

[scratchswinger]

Tiger Woods is a man of the people.

[csiachos]

I think he wrote it. I think he needs to take a couple of weeks off and for God's sake, don't do anything stupid like injure the leg! He'll win more majors, but we are going to have to do some waiting to see it.

What have you been watching?

[One Gray GLI]

I agree..good golf isn't watching someone dig his driver into the teebox, or block a tee shot and punt his club 10 feet.

And, that's coming from a fan of Tiger. If he's going to lose, at least lose with some dignity and self-respect, not like a little baby.

agree if I saw my kid do that on a golf course (atleast when he's older as my oldest is 5) I would go old school and smack him into next week. Glad to see he owned it but enough already.

Exactly, how many kids do you think will now copy that move? He has to know he is influencing an entire generation of temper tantrums.

[paulshack]

[quote]Congratulations to Bubba Watson for winning. We used to play a lot of practice
rounds together. If you think about it, for a lefty, that shot on No. 10 didn't
sit up too badly for him. It was a hook lie, and on top of that, he's firing it
into the hill, because that green goes from right to left. So whatever type of
hook he hits is actually going to be killed into the slope.[/quote]


what a knob.

Heard he picks up most of his whures in the inner city....kill 2 birds with 1 stone.

[devinsolar]

He made it seem like Bubba's shot was just a stock gap wedge, no problem. Yeah, it "set up for him perfectly." I always knew Tiger hit it in the woods with his driver simply because he thinks playing from the woods is just not that difficult.

Is tiger out of his mind? This is pathetic! I thought he had a lazer focus on majors? I though he never felt better? I thought he felt prepared and ready to play ( according to his pre masters press conference) I thought he was very close?

Sorry I am so cynical , but all the grimacing and sneers while he plays- maybe he's just an unhappy person and needs to have fun playing golf, sure walk away from Sean and show up at a couple of MUNIs on Saturday mornings, that maybe a good start to his personality rehab, that I believe will translate into better golf, better attitude and better results.

[JoshRH]

I have a hard time believing he wrote this. It almost seems as if it was written to make us think he wrote it when really its just PR junk. I hope he wrote it and finds a way to teach us more about Tiger. These posts could paint a picture over time.

Thats smart, one trip, less fuel consumption. Thank you Tiger, thank you for lowering your carbon footprint.

[PGArox]

Maybe it's just me, I don't know. But I have a feeling that Tiger is beginning to seem less important. I suppose if he starts winning tournaments, things would change. But I don't see that happening in any significant way.

Ain't that the truth!

I would love to find some balata balls and persimmon drivers to play a couple holes with.

The hyper conservative approach with the swing coach in tow image is certainly not in vogue thanks to Bubba.

[Vindog]

I read this as "Terminator X Speaks with His Hands." And that will probably be the only time I segue from Tiger to Public Enemy.

Good for Quail Hollow. That event had some stature to begin with. Now it's getting even more. I wish I went last year.

I was reading through some of the comments on it. I was trying my best to contain my laughter reading a few of them (I'm in a library). Some people are hilarious.

[supergolfdude]

Where do you even start with a person of Woods' poor character?

Seriously, I doubt he even wrote the statements. Likely, it was one of "Steiney's" minions and it was read back to him before being published.
Where have we heard the old "I AM SO SORRY!" stuff before, too? He has no intention of changing his abhorrent behavior, ever. I don't even think his most adoring fans think he's serious about that!

Oh well, a few weeks of Navy Seals training (LOL!) and we'll be again subjected to the ... and club kicks.

[swbyps]

Forget Tiger and Bubba....this thread has a Nino Brown and a Chuck D reference. P.E. one of my all time favs. I never though I would see the day...
